If He can do it any time, then He can do it for anyone. But that is not what He says. One who has been born again does indeed exhibit such fruits, but one who might exhibit such fruits may or may not be born again. I am not sure what writings of Peter, James and Paul you are referring to. How...

That may well be true. Still, none of God's moral, even as given in the OT was not set aside. Also, the law wasn't inadequate; rather it is we who are inadequate. Trust me, if you had kept the 'old' law perfectly, you would have been just fine. But you didn't and no one else, except Christ, has...

So says the non-Christian.

Baptism is not an indicator of being born again. It is the occasion, the time, in the sinners life when God forgives his sins and gives him the give of the Holy Spirit. Forgiveness of sins and receiving the gift of he Holy Spirit is being born again. That is what Colossians 2 says. That is in...

Given all you have said there, you can never know IF God has "made you Born Again". You may think it. But you can never know for sure. God says that being born again happens in baptism through faith in God, Read about being born again in Colossians 2: Col 2:11 In him also you were...

Any of those that says that the IDF is targeting children, are wrong. That is antisemitic propaganda. Are children being hurt and killed. Yes, but that does not mean they are being targeted More antisemitic propaganda. Maybe you should be attacking Hamas who are hiding behind those women and...

I don't think I was being cryptic. All of God's moral law was essentially repeated in one way or another throughout the NT. We have not been freed from keeping that law. Those of us who believe in God, in Jesus Christ, in the gospel, and I would add who have been baptized (Mark 16:16), have...

All those who have not believed and have been saved are under the law.

Aunty Jane, the church in the US today is following pretty closely how the church acted in Germany in the 1930s. They are "staying out of it". Pick up some of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's stuff and read about the German church and Hitler. Doing nothing is support to the devil's rulership. Today, in...

I do know the difference. First, who says that Israel is committing mass murder of women and children and starving them? Hamas? US Democrats? Second, given that Hamas uses women and children to hide behind, it is impossible for Israel to avoid completely the danger to women and children. We...

Where did you ever bet that idea. Do you really believe that God got broadsided by Satan? Why do you think the Garden was a few square miles somewhere in the region that is now the middle east rather than the entire earth? I believe that God created this universe with the plan of obtaining a...

Amen to that. In fact the entire Biden administration would be laughable were it not for the fact that it is destroying this country.

Then don't ever bother to fight a war. Just surrender at the first onslaught. The only think we are accomplishing in this Ukraine/Russia war is to drain the US resources and build up confidence in our enemies. Targeting children is your leftist complaint against any meaningful defense by...

Then why are you even here on a Christian forum?

What doesn't?

And if you were in charge of the fighting in WWII we would all be speaking German and serving Das Fuhrer. Or perhaps speaking Japanese and bowing to the Emperor of Japan. Wars are not won by fighting in only a defensive posture. That is the problem with the US strategy on the Ukraine/Russia...

Colossians 2:11-13 says that being born again occurred in baptism through faith in God.

Given how wrong you are on so much, I am not surprised that it does.

That doesn't make me wrong.

That is because you are just making up what it says rather than seriously trying to learn what it actually says and means. That is the whole MO of Calvinism soteriology. It all actually began with Augustine when he inserted his manichaeistic doctrine of Total Depravity into his Christian...
